People freaked out after witnessing a worrisome simulation about what’s on headphones when you put them into your ears

The viral simulation video illustrates how hazardous it may be to use earbuds constantly.

People have expressed concern after witnessing a simulation of what happens to earphones when they are placed in their ears.

It’s something that most of us use on a regular basis, whether on our way to work, when exercising, or to block out noise on public transportation.

But did you know that, if not used properly, they might be harmful to your health – if you’re not careful?

Millions of social media users couldn’t believe how awful it might get with earbuds in particular, when a video went viral earlier this year demonstrating the effects of leaving them in place.

Zack D. Films uploaded a 31-second YouTube video titled ‘Why Your Earbuds Are GROSS’, which has received over 15 million views.
